Rent prices in Manchester have soared by 19 per cent since this time last year, in what is now described by Rightmove as the most 'competitive rental market ever'. Those looking to rent a property in and around the city centre can now expect to pay an average of £1,067 per month for a standard home or apartment, a price which is unaffordable for many.
To avoid paying extortionate prices there are many properties you can rent for much less than the average house price, situated in some of Greater Manchester's more affordable boroughs that are further away from the city centre.
Albeit a small size, this flat in Bolton costs £303 per month to rent - making it one of the cheapest rental homes available in the region. For what equates to around £70 per week, the part furnished studio has everything you would need to live comfortably in the compact space.

Added to the market just yesterday (May 16), the flat on Bury Road is within close reach of local amenities and transport links to Bolton Town Centre.
Estate agents say the 'compact' studio flat offers self-contained accommodation perfect as a base for an out of area worker or a tenant 'on a budget and wanting low overheads'.
The flat spans 129 square foot and has recently been 'fully modernised' to provide a substantial home.
The space is made up of an open plan living, sleeping and kitchen area with cooking facilities, a washing machine, fridge and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.
It also comes with a sofa bed in the living area, which can be opened out to sleep on and put away during the day to save space.
The property is available to let long term, with a deposit of £350 required. Bills are not included in the monthly rent costs.
